I fail to see how sharing memes is a bad thing. Lemmy is a great community, its leagues better than what Reddit was, even in its heyday, and certainly better than the shit-buffet it has become.

While OC is great, it's really tough to make, especially at the frequency needed to provide new content and keep people interested. Further, 90% (or something) of people on here lurk, with the remaining 10% split between commentators and posters.

Don't like it? Vote with your feet.

If reposting memes, then why not do a quick reverse image search and grab a better version, as well? It seriously only takes mere seconds most of the time.

Tineye works great, but there's also Google reverse image search when that doesn't provide the results you hope for.

Not only does this generally improve the experience for everyone, but it also makes the platform much more appealing to outsiders that care about quality and will drive more quality users to Lemmy. On top of quality, but also things like links to and information about the creators, which is especially important for things like comics because the more people that know where to find the creators the more those creators can keep making their art.

Obviously, I do my best to contribute to this, but the more people that join in the better.

But the jpeg artifacts make it funnier!
